measure based on allocation key

[YBZ]

Hi all,

I have below matrix that shows per company the cost per category. This is straightforward data for Company 0-8.

However, we have a dummy company, company9, where cost needs to be allocated based on hours (allocation key) from a different table. 

Example : we have in company 9 under category A a cost of 5000 that needs to be allocated based on S.2000. If we look to the allocation data, we see that S.2000 has a total of 1408 hours split between the companies. Company 1 should of the total cost of 5000 get 8/1408, company should get 100/1408 etc..

Final visual/matrix would show per company the direct cost + the allocated cost from company 9.

I have however no clue on how to achieve this, so I was hoping somebody could help me 😊

Below the data that is a sample of the data :

Cost Table

Company	Category	Cost object	Cost
Company6	A	d.1500	400
Company5	D	c.1500	3000
Company10	C	b.1000	5000
Company9	T	s.1500	9000
Company7	W	s.1500	400
Company9	E	s.1500	3000
Company10	T	b.1000	5000
Company9	W	s.1500	9000
Company9	Q	s.1500	3000
Company9	A	s.2000	5000
Company8	R	b.1000	3000
Company9	T	s.2000	5000
Company1	Y	d.1500	9000
Company9	U	s.2000	3000
Company4	H	b.1000	5000
Company0	H	i.1000	400
Company2	H	s.1500	3000
Company6	B	c.1500	3000
Company4	N	b.1000	2000
Company2	F	i.1000	10000

Allocation Table

Company	Cost object	Hours	Receiving Company
Company9	s.1500	500	Company2
Company9	s.2000	400	Company4
Company9	s.1500	600	Company 6
Company9	s.2000	400	Company3
Company9	s.1500	300	Company1
Company9	s.2000	100	Company5
Company9	s.1500	100	Company3
Company9	s.2000	8	Company1
Company9	s.1500	9	Company5
Company9	s.2000	100	Company2
Company9	s.1500	100	Company4
Company9	s.2000	400	Company4

See the sample file and the desired results in my shared drive.

Only relationship you have between the two tables are Compnay and Cost Object.

Cost Allocation

hi @amustafa 

thanks for your help, but not really the desired outcome.

Desired outcome is to allocate costs booked on company 9 to all the other companies based on the allocation key. 

So for example we have category A booked on company 9 for an amount of 5000 that needs to be allocated based on the linked allocation key, for category that is S.2000.
S.2000 allocation is split between 4 companies and the key is as followed between company 1,2,3 and 4 (8/100/400/800). That 5000 should be linked to those companies as below :

Hi @amustafa 

Example and desired result (example is just for company1), but reasoning should be applied for all companies.

Hi @YBZ , can you provide the expected outcome from your sample data? provide clear example on how to calculate the values.
